Mystery problem |
|
|
I posted this question before, and got a partial solution:
I have a Win XP machine that will not connect to the intenet or the network
after a cold boot. I entered the default gateway and DNS servers in the LAN
connection, as per Quor's advice, and now it connects after a warm boot. To
connect after a cold boot I have to unplug the network cable. It than
reports that a network cable was unplugged and connects fine after I plug
the cable back in. Any ideas what is causing this?
Thanks

Not nearly enough information. We have some information on box A, but we
don't even know how many boxes you are using, let alone what boxes "B", "C"
or "X" might be. How can you troubleshoot a lan problem only knowing one
piece of it?
But generally, you probably need to run the Network Setup Wizard and specify
that the computer you are on connects to the Internet through another
computer. You shouldn't have to specify gateway or DNS servers unless there
is something very unique about your particular LAN. But then, we know
nothing about your LAN. -Dave |

By a "cold boot", are you saying that everything is powered up at the
same time, or just the computer? I had a similar situation here when I
first got on cable. I have a master power switch that powers up all
devices at once. I learned that if I immediately booted up the computer,
that I had no connection to the outside world. I now wait until the
cable modem has completed all it's syncing operations, before booting up
the computer. I haven't had any problem since then. Good luck. |

You haven't mentioned anything about the system. Model? Does it have a PCI
NIC, or is it onboard?

There's no real reason for putting the cable modem on a power strip
that gets turned off occasionally. Cable modems are generally intended
to be left on all the time. The same pretty much goes for consumer
grade routers, switches, hubs, print servers, etc.
